ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To investigate the state of diopter and best corrected visual acuity in active central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). METHODS: Twenty-three unilateral active CSC patients (23 eyes) were observed with Integrated Optometry Apparatus. The period of follow-up was from 3 - 12 months (mean, 7.2 months). RESULTS: Of the 23 patients, 15 eyes (65.2%) of active CSC and 5 fellow eyes (21.7%) showed hyperopic state. There were significant differences in hyperopic state between the active eyes and fellow eyes (P < 0.01). After follow-up, there were only 5 eyes of CSC (21.7%) showed slight hyperopia. There were significant differences in hyperopic state between before and after follow-up of the eyes of CSC (P < 0.01) Among the eyes of the best corrected visual acuities were increased 3 row or above, 90.9% eyes of the best corrected visual acuities were resumed to 1.0. CONCLUSION: Most of the active CSC demonstrated temporary hyperopic state due to the neuroretinal detachment of macula. The best corrected visual acuities with the Integrated Optometry Apparatus in active CSC are useful in evaluating the final visual acuities of the eyes.
